Post war is a science...
Again I must be all stupid-like but....
But after terror, oppression, war, bombardment, and more oppression don't we owe the Iraqi people something better than a constitution written by that nasty old screwhead Donald Rumsfeld?
Insane you say?
Please remember that the current Japanese Constitution was dictated practically in one sitting by then Allied Viceroy, Douglas MacArthur...
So why wouldn't Rummy (aka "America's Stud" per Tim Russert) write the basic law of post war Iraq?
Hell he has such a ticky-tacky bureabotic mind no doubt he may already have a draft of the whole document formatted and ready on his hard drive.
It's not like Colin Powell would ever be asked to undertake such a task. No the rumor out of DC is The President is trying on his triumphal regalia and has declined to rub Colin's head for good luck. During increasingly infrequent cabinet meetings Powell usually sits out in the hall on a humiliating child sized chair.
Which is a good tip off that the neocon superhawks have won the debate within the Admin.
Now Cheney might end up with the constitutional portfolio...he's certainly stupid, stubborn, and vulgar enough...all vital components of a new democratic Iraq.
But my gut is, it'll be Rumsfeld.
And the sad part is you know he'll farm the final version out to unpaid outside contractors like George Will , William Safire or Laura Ingraham if they need the feminine touch from a shrill boring social climbing drunk.
And that my friends is today's heavy handed irony , that bunch of buckracking rightical chic hammerheads who have no problem with mob rule when it comes to recounting the votes, are somehow gonna cram truth, justice, and democracy down the Iraqis throats.
Can you imagine the sort of document these worthies would come up with?
Abortion would be outlawed, abortion clinic bombing would be a misdemeanor, and every Iraqi child would get a $200 private school voucher at birth.
And that is just the beginning...
Or they will do a cost benefit analysis and decide it's cheaper to let Iraq devolve into four smaller statelets, think of it as the international equivalent of a hostile take over and sell off of assets.
It is after all a businessman's Admin.
Lets all think about this before we are all swept away by the displaced homsexuality fueled euphoria of a victorious punditariat.
For this has been a pundit's war from the git-go...but it had damn well better be a peace for everyone.
